 October Retreat 2003, Our first October retreat. Although the retreat started on Friday, officially at check in, unofficially it started long before that. Thursday afternoon I arrived with Anne from England and Anne from Tennessee, after a bit of sightseeing in route (and I will stick to that story!) The rest of the ladies were shopping on the way to Bird-in-Hand, and arrived with lots of packages to prove it. |

When everyone had finally checked in and settled down, we started our Three Dimensional Tessellated Autumn Leaves.
